The Breathing in Place video pieces are interactions with the Great Lakes that explore the relationship of the body to the landscape. Having grown up in Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes, I realized when I moved to Rochester, NY, that I had now lived near each of them. That started a 17-year quest to make a video for each of the lakes. I created “interactions” with the lakes, sometimes with multiple visits over years to capture the video I wanted (the Lakes do not always “abide”), then created layered sound pieces, working with musicians to create the “breath” of the pieces. Projects grew from short, single-channel, to two-channel and multi-display. Lake Erie, Huron, Superior and Michigan videos are linked here. Additional work can be explored at Vimeo.
